CAREER SNAPSHOT:
An AP Honorable Mention in 1980 when he caught 26 passes, Hoby Brenner played TE at USC.
3rd round choice of the New Orleans Saints in 1981.
His 41 catches (574 yards) in ’83 ranked second on the team.
Then in 1984 had 28 receptions for 554 yards and 6 TDs.
Improved on those numbers again in ’85 with 42 receptions for 652 yards (3 TDs) and was named team’s offensive player of the year.

Retired after the 1993 campaign, appearing in 175 contests.
ACCOLADES:
Pro Bowl 1985
New Orleans Saints Hall of Fame
NOTES:
A venerable TE who really didn’t get enough credit, you gotta wonder how Hoby’s career would have ended if it was tailored more towards him in general, as Brenner was not only an exceptional blocker, he was an accomplished receiver as well.
Tommy McDonald played collegially at Oklahoma from 1954 to ’56 as a halfback.
Over his time there he ran for 1683 yards on 249 carries scoring 27 times, as well as catching 20 passes for 414 yards and 6 TDs.

Broke the 1,000 yard barrier 3 times in his career: 1961 (1144), 1962 (1146) and later after he joined the Rams in 1965 (1036).
After being traded for three players, played the ’64 season with the Dallas Cowboys.
Traded to the Rams in exchange for a kicker in 1965, playing there through ’66.

NOTES:
At the time of his retirement in ’69 McDonald was the last player to play without a facemask. He became an ambassador to the sport and of the Philadelphia Eagles- which makes this card seem all the more odd since he only played two seasons with the Rams. After his passing he was diagnosed with CTE.
EPITAPH:
9/24/2018- Tommy McDonald passed away peacefully surrounded by family at the age of 84.
